THE DANISH GIRL
Screenplay by Lucinda Coxon (excerpt)
Based on the novel by David Ebershoff
EXT. TRAIN STATION, MORNING
A NOISY bustling platform. People rushing in all directions. Einar checks his ticket, about to board the train.
Hans and Gerda are with him, almost swept away by the tide of people. Hans carries his case. They find a
space in the crowd. Einar strains at his starched collar - his suit is emphatically masculine.
Hans and Gerda are with him, almost swept away by the tide of people. Hans carries his case. They find a

EINAR: I feel strange going dressed like this.
GERDA:It’s important. Hans says the Germans will check your papers.
HANS: Don’t take any chances. You’re nearly there.
Hans and Einar embrace, then Hans holds him at arms length.
EINAR: I won’t be seeing you again.
HANS: You know, I’ve only really liked a handful of people in my life and you’ve been two of them.
Einar half-laughs. Hans twinkles.
HANS (cont’d): Take care. Take care. *
The men part. Hans withdraws. Einar turns to Gerda. What can he say?
They hold one another close, intensely private.

GERDA: I wish you’d let me come with you.
EINAR: I can’t. You love Einar. And I have to let him go.
They kiss, an emotional parting. She removes her bright scarf.
GERDA: Here, take this... He takes it, smiles, and boards the train - just in time.
The air fills with steam and NOISE. Gerda raises her hand to wave as the train pulls out, carrying
Einar away. Einar fights tears as he moves off... Gerda runs alongside a little way, the gap that’s
opening between them suddenly unbearable. And then... the train has gone. Gerda turns to leave,
finds Hans waiting. She walks past him, bereft.

HANS: Gerda...? Let me give you a lift.
She barely turns, hands stuffed firmly in her pockets.
GERDA: I’m going to walk.
She strides down the platform, trying to outpace the pain, face set, body strong.
She could walk like this forever.
